| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hairdressing-school cut | S$7–S$22 per cut |  |
| Heartland barber | S$8–S$12 per cut | Often cash or PayNow, walk-in |
| Express chain (EC House, QB House) | S$12–S$14 per cut | Cut only, about 10 minutes |
| Mid-range barbershop | S$20–S$35 per cut |  |
| Premium barbershop | S$45–S$60 per cut | Hour-long session, often with wash and styling |

## How to choose
- For fades and textured styles, choose a barbershop that posts recent cuts on Instagram and book a named barber; heartland barbers are best for classic short cuts.
- Bring a reference photo and say which guard length you normally use.
- Check the price for add-ons such as beard trims, hot-towel shaves and hair washes, which can double the bill at premium shops.
- Ask if the price is nett; tipping is not expected in Singapore.
- Skip prepaid haircut packages; the saving is small compared with the risk if the shop closes.

## Red flags
- Razors that are not fitted with a fresh blade in front of you.
- Clippers and combs not cleaned between customers.
- Prices not displayed and only quoted after the cut.
